Language, literature, gastronomy, art, architecture, music, spirituality, philosophy, mysticism (etc.) are all part of the cultural heritage of the pan-Arab world.

It includes all the traditional forms of religious thought, such as kalam (Islamic theology) and fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), but also incorporates fields generally considered secular in the West, such as Islamic science and Islamic economics.Solved Question Papers of UGC NET in Arab Culture and Islamic StudiesClick here to view UGC NET Solved Question Papers in Arab Culture and Islamic StudiesAbout UGC NET in Arab Culture and Islamic StudiesThe UGC NET in Arab Culture and Islamic Studies syllabus, question pattern, old examination questions papers along with answer keys (solved questions) can be found at UGC NET in Arab Culture and Islamic Studies . |
